Athletics at Mariners picks and predictions

Prediction

Mariners 6, Athletics 2

Moneyline

AVOID.

Unless you believe the Athletics can pull off the upset on the road, then wagering on the moneyline in this game isn’t worth the risk. The Mariners (-300) are likely to win, but the odds are too steep to warrant a bet.

Run line/Against the spread

I typically wouldn’t advocate for a team to win by 3 runs, but MARINERS -2.5 (+100) is the pick in this game with the pitching matchup being lopsided. Despite Castillo’s recent woes, Muller has been one of the worst starters in baseball and the Athletics are a perfect get-right team for Castillo to face.

Over/Under

LEAN OVER 7.5 (-120).

Even with Castillo on the mound for the Mariners and limiting the Athletics, Muller is bleeding runs to opposing teams at a torrid pace. And even when Muller exits the game, Oakland’s bullpen has allowed the most earned runs (135) in the league.

The Seattle Mariners (21-22) will begin a 3-game series against the Atlanta Braves (27-16) on Friday at Truist Park. First pitch is scheduled for 7:20 p.m. ET (Apple TV+). Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s lines around the Mariners vs. Braves odds and make our expert MLB picks and predictions for the best bets.

Season series: First meeting; Mariners went 2-1 vs. Braves in 2022

  • Has allowed only 1 combined ER in his 1st 3 MLB starts

Mariners at Braves picks and predictions

Prediction

Braves 5, Mariners 3

Moneyline

With both teams having pitchers that have performed well thus far, I’ll back the BRAVES (-155) at home in Friday’s interleague matchup.

Run line/Against the spread

BRAVES -1.5 (+125) has decent value despite Miller allowing only 1 ER in 3 starts. Two of Miller’s 3 starts were against the Oakland Athletics and the Detroit Tigers, while the Braves are tied for the 8th-best ISO (.179) and have the 12th-best wOBA (.322) against right-handed pitchers.

In comparison, the Mariners are 20th in ISO (.149) and wOBA (.306) against right-handed pitching.

Play our free daily Pick’em Challenge and win! Play now!

Over/Under

With Miller and Elder doing a formidable job limiting runs, I’ll take UNDER 8.5 (+100). We’ve seen rookie pitchers struggle after a few starts this season, but I believe Miller can prevent enough damage to help the Under hit.

Seattle Mariners at Boston Red Sox odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Monday’s Seattle Mariners at Boston Red Sox odds and lines, with MLB expert picks, predictions and best bets.

The Seattle Mariners (20-20) begin a 3-game series against the Boston Red Sox (22-19) on Monday at Fenway Park. First pitch is scheduled for 7:10 p.m. ET. Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s lines around the Mariners vs. Red Sox odds and make our expert MLB picks and predictions for the best bets.

Season series: First meeting of 2023. The Red Sox won the 2022 season series 6-1.

The Mariners lost 5-3 at the Detroit Tigers Sunday as they failed to complete a 3-game sweep. Seattle has gone 6-4 in its last 10 contests.

The Red Sox were defeated by the St. Louis Cardinals 9-1 on Sunday and were swept in the 3-game series. Boston was 5-2 in the 7 games prior to the Cardinals series.

RHP George Kirby vs. RHP Tanner Houck

Kirby (4-2, 2.62 ERA) makes his 8th start. He has a 0.96 WHIP, 0.6 BB/9 and 7.1 K/9 through 44 2/3 IP.

  • Has walked a total of 3 batters in his first 7 starts

Mariners at Red Sox picks and predictions

Prediction

Mariners 5, Red Sox 4

Moneyline

The MARINERS (-120) are the pick in Monday’s matchup with Kirby on the bump. The Red Sox are 0-4 in their last 4 games against a right-handed pitcher, which doesn’t bode well against Kirby.

Run line/Against the spread

RED SOX +1.5 (-160) is the choice despite expecting the Mariners to secure the win. Even though the odds are juiced for Boston to cover the spread, it should be able to keep it close at home on Monday.

Play our free daily Pick’em Challenge and win! Play now!

Over/Under

LEAN UNDER 10 (-115).

The Red Sox are 27-13-1 to the Over this season, but Kirby has done a fantastic job limiting runs and Houck faces a Mariners lineup that has been inconsistent.

Seattle is 4-0 to the Under in its last 4 games against a team with a winning record and in its last 4 games against a right-handed starter.

Mariners at Tigers picks and predictions

Prediction

Tigers 5, Mariners 4

Moneyline

I’ll back the TIGERS (+105) at home on Friday considering that they’ve played just as well as the Mariners over their last 10 games. Seattle owns a league-worst .193 batting average against southpaws this season, which is why I lean toward Detroit.

Run line/Against the spread

PASS.

The Tigers +1.5 (-160) getting a run of insurance is too expensive. I like the odds for them to win outright much more, so best to focus on the moneyline.

Play our free daily Pick’em Challenge and win! Play now!

Over/Under

OVER 8.5 (-115) is the lean in this matchup with Gonzales and Boyd being susceptible to giving up multiple runs. The Tigers have also scored 5-plus runs in 7 of their last 10 games.

The Over is 3-0-2 in the last 5 meetings overall and 3-1-1 in the last 5 meetings in Detroit.

Mariners at Athletics projected starters

RHP George Kirby vs. RHP Drew Rucinski

Kirby (2-2, 2.93 ERA) makes his 6th start. He has a 0.95 WHIP, 0.6 BB/9 and 7.0 K/9 through 30 2/3 IP.

  • Has notched at least 6 IP in each of his last 4 starts after going just 4 1/3 IP in his season debut
  • Owns a 1-0 record with a 4.43 ERA, 1.38 WHIP and 11.1 K/9 in 4 career starts against the Athletics.

Rucinski (0-1, 4.76 ERA) makes his 2nd start. He has a 2.12 WHIP, 1.6 BB/9 and 1.6 K/9 through 5 2/3 IP.

Mariners at Athletics picks and predictions

Prediction

Mariners 5, Athletics 3

Moneyline

AVOID.

Unless you believe the Athletics will secure their 7th win of the season on Thursday, then I’d just refrain from wagering on the moneyline in this contest as the odds on Seattle (-250) are too steep to warrant a wager.

Run line/Against the spread

ATHLETICS +2.5 (-135) is the lean in this game as this is a decent-sized run line. The Mariners have a massive pitching advantage in this game but it’s tough for teams to beat an opponent by 3 or more runs on the road.

Play our free daily Pick’em Challenge and win! Play now!

Over/Under

UNDER 8.5 (-115) is the pick in Thursday’s tilt with Kirby on the mound for the Mariners. Seattle also hasn’t been consistent in scoring runs as they’ve posted more than 5 runs just twice in its last 10 games.

The Under is 5-2 in the last 7 meetings between these clubs.

Mariners at Blue Jays picks and predictions

Prediction

Mariners 5, Blue Jays 4

Moneyline

Even though they are the road team, I’ll back the MARINERS (-105) on Friday. Castillo has been much better than Manoah this season as Seattle has gone 4-1 in his starts thus far.

Run line/Against the spread

PASS.

Despite having the Mariners securing the win on the road, I believe the Blue Jays will keep this game close enough to cover the spread. Taking the +1.5 spread in favor of Toronto (-190) isn’t advised.

Over/Under

LEAN OVER 8.5 (-115).

While Castillo has been elite thus far, I envision the Blue Jays producing a couple of runs on the talented pitcher. On the other hand, Manoah has surrendered 3 runs or more in 3 of his 5 starts.

Brewers at Mariners picks and predictions

Prediction

Brewers 5, Mariners 3

Moneyline

With both teams rolling out southpaws on Wednesday, I’ll back the BREWERS (+105) to sweep the Mariners. Lauer is the better pitcher and Milwaukee continues to find ways to win games.

Run line/Against the spread

PASS.

Even though I see the Brewers winning outright and covering the +1.5 spread, taking the spread in favor of Milwaukee at the current odds (-190) isn’t worth the risk.

Over/Under

LEAN UNDER 8.5 (-115).

Both of these teams are struggling against LHP to begin the season with the Brewers slashing .215/.294/.336 against southpaws and the Mariners slashing .203/.275/.364 vs. LHP.

Brewers at Mariners picks and predictions

Prediction

Brewers 6, Mariners 3

Moneyline

PASS.

Unless you can get the Brewers at -150 odds or better, refrain from wagering on the moneyline in this contest.

Run line/Against the spread

BREWERS -1.5 (+110) is the pick with Milwaukee having a massive advantage on the mound. Burnes looked like his usual dominant self in his last start and Flexen continues to struggle as a starter for the Mariners.

Play our free daily Pick’em Challenge and win! Play now!

Over/Under

OVER 7.5 (-115) is how I’d bet on the total with Flexen pitching for the Mariners. The Brewers are slashing .275/.358/.436 against RHP this season and Flexen is a pitcher that doesn’t rack up many strikeouts.

The Over is 6-0 in Flexen’s last 6 interleague starts.

Seattle Mariners at Cleveland Guardians odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Saturday’s Seattle Mariners at Cleveland Guardians odds and lines, with MLB expert picks and predictions.

The Seattle Mariners (74-58) and the Cleveland Guardians (68-62) play the middle game of a 3-game set Saturday at Progressive Field. First pitch is scheduled for 7:15 p.m. ET (FOX). Let’s analyze Tipico Sportsbook‘s lines around the Mariners vs. Guardians odds with MLB picks and predictions.

Season series: Mariners lead series 4-1

The Mariners picked up where they left off in Seattle. This team took 3 of 4 games from the Guardians at T-Mobile Park last weekend, and Seattle won 6-1 in Friday’s series opener to avenge a loss to RHP Zach Plesac last weekend.

The Guardians have had a lot of difficulty plating runs, going for a total of just 13 runs in the past 8 games. Cleveland has won just 2 of its outings during that stretch of awful offensive performances.

Mariners at Guardians projected starters

LHP Robbie Ray vs. RHP Xzavion Curry

Ray (11-8, 3.58 ERA) makes his 27th start. He has a 1.14 WHIP, 3.1 BB/9 and 10.4 K/9 through 155 2/3 IP.

  • Is just 5-5 with a 5.25 ERA and .262 opponent batting average across 61 2/3 IP over 11 road starts
  • Twirled 7 scoreless IP with just 3 H, 0 BB and 7 K in a 4-0 win over the Guardians last time out Sunday in Seattle

Curry allowed 3 ER and 8 H across 5 IP with 1 BB and 3 K in a no-decision in his Major League debut against the Tigers Aug. 15.

  • Registered an 8-4 record, 4.00 ERA and 1.17 WHIP across 108 IP in 19 starts and 2 relief appearances at Double-A and Triple-A this season

Mariners at Guardians picks and predictions

Prediction

Mariners 6, Guardians 3

Money line

The MARINERS (-165) are moderate favorites and a strong play over the tumbling Guardians. Seattle has won 4 of the 5 meetings this season, and it is catching Cleveland at a perfect time. The Guardians have struggled to score lately, and they won’t get back on track with a rookie making just his 2nd career start.

Run line/Against the spread

The MARINERS -1.5 (+102) are worth playing on the run line. All 5 wins during Seattle’s 5-game win streak have come by 2 or more runs. In addition, the M’s have won 3 of 4 games against the Guardians by 2 or more runs, too.

Over/Under

OVER 7.5 (-122) is worth a look as the Mariners will try to keep the offense rolling. They have 3 or more runs in 8 straight games and are averaging 6.2 runs per game during their 5-game win streak. While the Guardians are struggling to score runs, they should be able to at least plate a few runs of offense together to help get this over the finish line.
